BPOV
I could hardly keep my emotions in check. I wanted Edward to tell me what the letter from the courts had to say.
"What does the letter say McScuff?"
He looked up at me finally giving me a smile. I hope that its the news that Anthony was Edward's son.
He moved to stand right in front of me and said, "love Anthony is 99.9% my son."
I jumped into his arms and wrapped my legs around his waist. I was so excited that it was starting to come to an end I hope.
"Baby what does the pregnancy test say?"
I pulled away from him and just nodded my head yes.
"Yes we are having a baby Bella?"
"Yes Edward, we are."
"Damn baby this day could not get any better. I found out that I have a baby on the way as well amd Anthony is my son. I love you Bella so much."
"I could not agree more McScruff. Now we just need to try and get full custody of Anthony and change his last name and we will be good to go and I love you too."
"Bella are you sure you are okay with having a baby? I know that we decided to wait until some of this settled down but I could not be any happier."
I sat there for a second thinking about what he had asked and yes I'm glad that I was pregnant. I think I was just scared that having a baby with all this shit going on would make matters worse.
But the hell with that. I want a baby with Edward and I'm not going to let anything come in between us. Not Irina, not James or anybody else.
"Yes Edward I'm happy about the baby. I have come to the decision that I'm not going to let anyone in my way of my happiness and I'm glad that we are having a baby. I'm also glad that I have a son to go with that baby."
"Yes you do Bella and I'm going to call my lawyer in just a few minutes and have him drawn up the paperwork for getting fully custody of Anthony. I don't want him ever to have to see Irina or James again. They have already done a enough damage to him."
I grabbed his hand and we walked out to where Anthony was sitting.
"Anthony, Bella and I have some news to tell you."
He looked up at both of us with expression that was showing that he was scared.
"Sweetie the news is good I promise. Come here and sit with me."
He walked over and sat in between Edward and I.
Edward was looking at me and I nodded for him to tell him the news.
"Well buddy first off I want to tell you that Bella and I are going to have a baby."
"Really that's so cool. I can't wait."
"Neither can we Anthony," I said.
"Edward you said the first so does that mean there is something else you have to say too?"
I could not believe how smart he was. He knew there was more news to share.
I looked over at Edward and he just had a big ass smile on his face. I nodded for him to continue what he was saying.
"Anthony you remember several weeks back that we had to go and have you mouth swabbed for a test?"
He nodded his head.
"Well that test was to see who your father is. I got the test results back today."
I watched as Anthony face went to confusion. I'm not sure knows what to think of all this.
"Anthony what Edward is trying to say is, do you remember when you told us about you heard James and Irina fighting over your real dad?"
"Yes something about getting money from him."
"Yes well that is Edward who they are trying to get money from. Edward wanted to make sure that you were his before he just handed over anything to her."
"Okay so you got the test. What did it say?"
I watched as Anthony looked to Edward waiting for Edward to say the answer.
"Well buddy it shows that you are my son."
I watched as Anthony jumped into Edward arms. He had the biggest smile on his face.
"So Edward does that mean I don't have to go back to my mom and James ever?"
"I'm going to try and make it so that I will have total custody of you. Would you like that?"
"You mean I get to stay with you and Bella all the time?"
I watched as they interacted with one another and I was so happy that both my boys are happy. If they are happy then so am I.
I hope that Edward will be like this with our baby once it's born. Maybe we would have a girl and she would be our angel.
Edward seems to have a connection with Anthony like no other. Like he understood him.
I hope Anthony will adjust to all this without having a hard time. I knew Edward would be calling his lawyer in a bit, I just hope that the courts will let him stay with us and Edward get the full custody that he wanted.
"Baby I'm going to step out for a minute and call my lawyer and see what he has to say."
"Ok Anthony and I will get the dinner heated up so we can eat. I'm really hungry.
"Alright baby."
He bent over and gave me a sweet kiss before walking towards the backyard.
"Come on Anthony let's go heat up the food."
As we walked into the kitchen and I could tell that he has something on his mind.
"Anthony is there something you want to talk about or have any questions?"
"Um...if Edward is my dad does that mean I can call him dad?"
"Sweetie I think that you should ask him that yourself. I'm sure that he will not care but I think it would mean a lot to Edward if you called him dad."
"Okay I guess I will talk to him about at dinner. I love being here with the both of you. I hope that he can get me stay all the time."
"I know Edward, Anthony he will do everything in his power to get custody of you. Let us worry about that ok."
"Ok I will."
We finished getting dinner ready as Edward walked back in the door.

When I walked out to call my lawyer. I took a few moments to gather my thoughts.
Today has been a really exciting day. We found out Bella is having a baby and that Anthony is my son.
Today could not have been better. I just hope that I can get soul custody of Anthony. Irina does not deserve to be a mother.
If I can get it my way I would have her sign over her parental rights. First things first I need to get this stuff going before I get into to much thinking about anything else.
Dialing my lawyer's number. He picked up on the second ring.
"Mr. Brown it's Edward Cullen."
"Oh Mr. Cullen what can I do for you?"
"I got a letter today with the results of my DNA test and it shows that Anthony is 99.9% my son. I was wondering if there might be away to get full custody of him?"
"I don't see why not since Ms. Denali is in jail. I'm pretty sure that it will be easy. I'll draw up the papers and then I will just need you to sign them."
"Okay well once you get them ready for me just give me a call."
"Yes I sure will. They should be ready by tomorrow afternoon."
"Thank you sir. Have a good night."
"You to ."
After talking to him I felt a little better. I just hope that the judge will give me what I asked for.
Once I got full custody I would go after her signing her rights over. Then once that's done I would have to talk to Bella about adopting him.
She loves Anthony just as much as I do. I hope that he will adjust to this new information really good.
Walking back into the kitchen I saw that they had everything ready for dinner. Bella was standing at the counter and Anthony was going to get cleaned up.
"McScruff, Anthony wants to talk to you about something during dinner. It's nothing bad but I told him he needed to ask you about it."
"M'okay. How come he talked to you about it?"
"I'm guessing that he wanted to see what you would say. I told him I don't think you would mind but he needed to talk to you about it."
"Okay baby. I love you so much. How are you feeling? Today has been a very busy day."
"I'm good glad that some of this is coming to a close, but I have a funny feeling that things are going to get worse before it gets better."
"Yeah I fill them same way but just remember that we are here doing it together. Just remember what you said about not letting anything get in our way of happiness."
We sat down to eat dinner and I could tell that Anthony wanted to talk even though Bella has already said something to me.
"Anthony is there something on your mind?"
"Um yeah...I...I'm just not sure how to ask that's all."
"Anthony go ahead and ask him. He wouldn't be mad and I promise you that you will not be hurt either," Bella said.
"Well I guess I was wondering since you are my dad, if it was okay for me to call you dad."
I could not believe he was ready to call me dad. I was hoping that he would but I figure that it would be down the road some time.
"Son if you want to call me dad that is fine with me. It's also fine if you want to keep calling me Edward. I know that this is a lot to take in. I want you to call me whatever you feel comfortable with calling me."
"I want to call you dad because you are my dad and you have been a father to me more then James ever was. You took me in when I had nowhere to go and that means a lot to me."
"Come here Anthony."
He walked over to me and I felt the tears build up in my eyes. I chanced a look at Bella and she was crying already.
Once he was standing in front of me, I placed him on my lap.
I waved Bella over as well. I wanted her there too.
"Anthony I love you and I know that Bella feels the same way. I'm not going to let you go back there if I can help it. You are mine and Bella's son and nothing will change that."
"I love you to dad. Bella I love you as well."
I pulled Bella into my side and hugged them both to me.
Anthony calling me dad made me so happy. I was getting my son as well as a baby on the way.
I think I need to start thinking about asking Bella to marry me soon.
Once we got Anthony to bed, Bella and I crawled into bed ourselves.
I turned to where I was facing her. I placed my hand on her stomach.
"Baby, today has been one of the best days of my life. I found out that the love of my life is giving us a child," I said and I rubbed my hand over her still flat stomach.
"Edward I love you and I'm happy about all this. I honestly can't wait. It seems like everything is starting to quiet down some, so that is good."
"Love you to baby. Hopefully by time the baby is born our son will be ours and we won't have to worry about Irina or even James anymore."
"It doesn't matter Edward, there is nothing that they could do to take away how happy I am about everything that has happened today. I will love Anthony as if he was my child, just as I love this one," she said placing her hand over mind on her stomach.
I knew I wanted to ask her to marry me but I was not sure if this was the right time or not. I mean I don't have a ring to give her but it seemed like this was the right time to ask.
I mean we could always get a ring in the next couple of days and she could pick out what she wanted.
Looking into her eyes, I could tell that she was happy and that she loved me with everything she had to give.
If she did not love me she sure as hell would not still be with me.
Rolling us over so that I was hovering her. I looked into her eyes and asked. "Bella marry me?" I said as I slowly pushed into her.
I never took my eyes off her and I watched as the tears formed into her eyes.
She placed her hands on my cheeks and ever so sweetly said, "Yes Edward I will marry you."
We continued to make love into the night and just showed each other just how much the other meant to one another.
